Using pregnancy lotion for loose skin?

I've been asking all over here in Germany for a lotion to help with elasticity, and have explicitly told the people in the shops I've been to that I'm in the process of losing a large amount of weight. I've mostly been met with stares, and the best I seem to be able to do is a lotion for pregnant women to supposedly prevent stretch marks. Now, I'm not sure if that will actually be just right, or if it's the opposite of what I want (pregnant women want their skin to stretch, we want ours to shrink). What do you guys think? If anyone can recommend some good very mainstream brands then maybe, maybe I could find them on Amazon.de, but so far I haven't had luck...

  • Hi I have read a suggestion, which I am trying, of almond oil with a small quantity ( few drops) of a citrus aromatherapy oil - lemon or grapefruit- to help shrink the skin. Best Christine

I read someplace to use a lotion with vitamin E and keratin. I haven't looked yet so not able to give you a brand name.

I read that as well. This has Vitamin E, but no one know what I was on about when I mentioned keratin.
